Why not scientific?

Before talking about this, I must declare that I am not a scientist and with no such formal training or academic studies. All my knowledge is from self-studies.

My interest in science especially health started very early even before secondary school. There are a few points hat I still keep in mind:

First, science must be based on facts, not fallacy.

Second, we may lack of the knowledge to explain the exact procedure, but the end result is something not to be neglected.

Third, science is not gambling. If any scientific expedition has to go with certain percentage of success, it is because we are lack of the full knowledge or information about all the factors. In other words, we should not be taken as experts yet.

So I wonder why for these years, we have many reports or suggestions from medical about health and treatment that were moving away from science. The most unfortunate thing is that our doctors are becoming agents for medicine producers. Statements about medicine are nothing more than reciting the producers' advertisement. Most researches will take the top priority of patent application. Remember that the discovery of DNA sparked the argument whether someone could get the patent for the building mechanism of our bodies. Andy Rooney said that there were no inventions now after the telephone. I believe that things are getting uglier than that.

Another example is that the same specialist had said that egg was not good for health, but changed to say egg would be good after employing by agricultural body. Yes, scientist can make mistake and can take opposite standing. But there should be proven by fact finding to support and definitely not about employment.

When we need medical treatment, we pay one hundred percent of charge, but the recovery is said to be 20%, 30% or so. Will we accept to pay a dinner with 100% but receive 30% of the menu in quality or quantity?

It is our lives that force us to accept anything, even with such low level of customer satisfaction. We cannot argue with the doctors because we need them to treat our sickness. There are things worth for us to consider.

With such performance, can medical practitioners still be taken as saviours for us?

Why scientists did not guide us to avoid sickness?

Some may say that there is lots of articles etc. about how to be healthy. Yes, they said that if we eat one third of what we would, we can live longer. Yes, they said if we do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, do not eat too much meat, avoid ice cream etc., we can avoid problem. That looks like living in poor countries where there is nothing more to eat.

That is not a life for us.

How about living for one hundred years with bread and water? Will you accept?
